When even the old were young,
And Waits would trudge through

For Joy of the songs tKey sung,
A strange old folk would make
them merry
Because of a star on high.
And one immortal Child of
Heaven
Who came on earth to die.
It waa the Feast of Lights—
(Draw close around the fireI)
On that strange night of nights
Was tom the World’s Desire
(Shut out the dark; and yat—
Can our dark hearts forget?)
A deeper tale, a stranger song
Has hushed our mirth tonight.
